The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years | Chingiz A?tmatov
post image

The Day Lasts More than a Hundred Years was one of my favourite reads so far this year. One word of warning, there is actually very little science-fiction in this novel. It's 95% realistic and tells in flashbacks the life of Yedigei, a railway worker in a tiny station in the middle of the Kazakh desert. A lot more pages are devoted to trains than to space rockets. Not to mention Yedigei's beloved camel.

The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years | Chingiz A?tmatov
post image

Really enjoying The Day Lasts More than a Hundred Years by Kyrgyz (formerly Soviet) author Chingiz Aitmatov. I've tried to find a photo online that fits the description of the main protagonist's magnificent camel: a huge brown and black Bactrian called Karanar. I love the way the novel blends science-fiction and descriptions of life in the Kazakh desert.
